Spend a Day on the Island of Capri

Capri is a great place to go for the day if you ever find yourself in Italy.

Spend a Day on the Island of Capri

Capri is a wonderful island located off the south of Italy about a 45 minute boat ride from Naples. I had the opportunity to visit Capri over vacation last summer and really enjoyed the time I spent there. My day in Capri started with a boat ride around the island to look at the amazing landscape. The island is very rugged with cliffs that jut out to the sea and houses of the rich and famous sitting on top. The ocean was so blue and the day I happened to be there was the Fourth of July. Ironically one of the best Fourth of Julys that I've had was not spent in America.

There are two little towns on the island of Capri - Capri and Anacapri. I never went to Anacapri, but it's more low-key as it's on the other side of the island that is less inhabited. We took the cable car up to the top of the island where we walked around the narrow streets lined with expensive clothing shops. We walked up to a terrace that overlooked the sea and had a spectacular view. Capri is also a popular place for the production of perfumes and fragrances so there are many shop workers offering samples of the fragrances on the side of the streets. Being a very hot and sunny day on the island, it was nice to sit in the shade and sip on a lemon flavored slushy while watching the other tourists go by.

We wrapped our day up by enjoying the best caprese sandwich I've ever had and swimming in the ocean. I thoroughly enjoyed my day spent on Capri and if you ever have the opportunity to go there, I would recommend it. I would also recommend checking out the other side of the island and Anacapri, which I was not able to visit.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
